integral of 5/((2x-1)^2)

\int \frac{5}{( 2 x - 1 ) ^{2}} d x

- \frac{5}{2 ( 2 x - 1 )} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{5}{( 2 x - 1 ) ^{2}} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 5 \cdot \int \frac{1}{( 2 x - 1 ) ^{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= 5 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 u ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = 2 x - 1

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2 x - 1})

Simplify

5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2 x - 1}) : - \frac{5}{2 ( 2 x - 1 )}

= - \frac{5}{2 ( 2 x - 1 )}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{5}{2 ( 2 x - 1 )} + C
